Okay, so apparently I am also rocking the insomnia... *sad face* However, I am now in class. But I promise I'm working on it. I'm thinking about making a recs list and posting it to my journal. Now that sounds fancy, but since only you and one other person are on my friends list, really it's just for you :)
I hope that this is a good summary. There are always things I'm curious about a fic that I want to know before reading, but people don't normally include in summaries, so I hope this is okay
Nothing the Same by orchidluv Pairing: Spike and Xander
This is an AU story that deviates from Buffy canon in the very first one or two episodes. After staking Jesse, Xander does not believe Giles when he says that there was nothing of Jesse left, just a demon. He does not eventually accept Giles' theories like in canon, rather he never gets involved with the Slayerettes, saying that he couldn't trust someone who would either lie to him, or was too stupid to see the truth (Giles), and he steals books from Giles, trying to learn more about vampires. When this doesn't yield any information he starts to watch the factory where the Annointed One is staying, where Spike finds him. Spike is intrigued by someone watching vampires instead of running from them, and Xander is trying to learn more about vampires, and so a tentative friendship forms.
Kay, that's the summary, and here are things that I always would like to know.
***Spoilers here though***
Major Willow-abusing-magic situation but not till late in the series, initial Buffy-basing, but it dies down. Xander becomes Spike's consort, and it is a Xander-is-the-light-of-my-unlife relationship instead of a look-at-my-pretty-human-pet relationship. And Angel still loses his soul. Hmm...I forget what happens to Drusilla, but she's not a factor. Most fights and demons and things still happen like in canon, just with different results.
Umm....did I mention I suck at everything? Anyways, that's all I've got, I hope you enjoy it.
